Marvin Gaye, I Heard It Through The Grapevine (1967)
Key: :[Ebm] (w: Norman Whitfield, Barrett Strong, 1966) (Miracles, 1966)
INTRO: [Ebm *R1 x5]
VERSE 1:
Ooh I
[Ebm] bet you're wonderin' how I knew
About your
[Bb7] plans to make me
[Ab] blue
With some other
[Ebm] guy, you knew before
Between two of us
[Bb7] guys, you know I'd love you
[Ab] more
PRE-CHORUS 1:
It took me by sur-
[Cm]-prise, I must
[Ab] say
When I
[Ebm] found out yester-
[Ab]-day; don't you know that:
CHORUS:
I
[Ebm] heard it through the grapevine
Not much
[Ab] longer would you be mine
Oh, I
[Ebm] heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm
[Ab] just about to lose my mind
Honey, Honey,
[Ebm] yeah
VERSE 2:
I know a
[Ebm] man ain't supposed to cry
But these
[Bb7] tears, I can't hold in-
[Ab]-side
Losing
[Ebm] you would end my life you see
Cos you
[Bb7] mean that much to
[Ab] me
PRE-CHORUS 2:
You could have
[Cm] told me your-
[Ab]-self
That you
[Ebm] loved someone
[Ab] else, instead;
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
[Ebm] People say believe half of what you see
Son and
[Bb7] none of what you
[Ab] hear
But I can't
[Ebm] help but be confused
If it's
[Bb7] true please tell me
[Ab] dear
PRE-CHORUS 3:
Do you
[Cm] plan to let me
[Ab] go
For the other
[Ebm] guy you loved be-
[Ab]-fore?
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
